BadgeAmerica was formed in the Fall of 1990 for the purpose of installing card operated control devices on the photocopier and microfilm equipment of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. and National Archives in the various Presidential Libraries located throughout the United States. In the following year the company began providing campus one card systems to various colleges and universities throughout New England. After 1996 BadgeAmerica began to focus its activities on Digital Photo Identification Cards of every kind and capability; the assembly, sale, service, and supply of customer operated ID Card Making Systems became its main focus. The United States Navy, SquareD Electric Corporation, Onondaga County NY, Barnstable County, MA, the City of New Bedford, MA and New Bedford Public Schools, and the nationwide network of ProSource Flooring Show- rooms are among BadgeAmerica's customers. Among its equipment, software, and product lines are Fargo Electronic ID Card Printers, Imageware, Card Five and Sierra Tango Software, as well as Synergistics, Access Control Systems and HID Proximity cards and readers.
